Cranial fasciitis of childhood: an incidental finding of a lytic skull lesion.
We describe a case of cranial fascitis presenting as an incidental finding. A 2 1/2-year-old girl had skull radiographs performed after sustaining a minor head injury, which revealed a lytic skull lesion. We describe the salient features of the case and review the current literature of this rare benign inflammatory condition.
